The Making Spot

The Making Spot is a great online resource for crafters with projects, patterns and advice at a click of a button. I frequently get asked about templates and here you can find some cute ideas that I have created but also, more importantly access many more by designers across the country.






Follow the above link to find my embossing project ideas and instructions such as this  embossed acetate method.











I am really enjoying working with the Sizzix product line at the moment creating projects to display at the upcoming trade show. I feel really privilaged to be able to use the brand new product and I still wouldn't swap my Big Shot for the world...well except maybe for the brand new turquoise version which would look so lovely in my craft room!

No time for day dreaming this week!!

Little Treasures

I have decided to become a dedicated blogger! My love for craft has been rejuvenated since visiting Creativeworld, Frankfurt with the some of the guys from Sizzix. It was really nice to meet lots of new like minded people and also to bump into so many old friends.


Here I am, snapped by the lovely Paula Pascual, contemplated the endless crafting possibilities with the gorgeous new dies for the coming year!
During the exhibition I was surprised to see so many fabric kits which reminded me of my own soft toy creations, inspired by a book of Softies that I bought some years ago when visiting my mum in America. I have posted pictures before on Facebook but here are the stages of making in case anyone is interested!
